They went digging for 4 years and found nothing else. Is there something you know you would like to share with the rest of us?

What they would find would be no different than what they'd find at LSU, Bama, Auburn or Florida. Really.

Let's set the record straight: I prefer the Southern lifestyle to the "L.A." lifestyle.
The partying is probably a little more "hip" in L.A. than it is in "LA". That said, you folks know as well as I do that every big time CF program has boosters (and that's a broad spectrum of individuals to say the least) that are happy to give benefits (also broad and sometimes, well, broads) to recruits/players. It just happens everywhere. The hypocrisy of the NCAA has been exposed. It just needs to go away.

Oh you mean like another 4 year investigation by the NCAA and Charles Robinson? Please, dude, you can't be serious. The NCAA looked and looked into the program for YEARS and how many football players did find broke rules? One. ONE!

so yeah, go ahead and dig a little deeper. I'll wait another presidential term to see all the real truth come to light.

I'll ask you this... As so many SEC fans like to point out, who cares more about college football Baton Rouge/Tuscaloosa or Los Angeles? If college football is a "religion" in the south, and not so much in Los Angeles, which programs are more likely to go the extra mile to win? Which schools/conference is the most emotionally and psychologically tied to it's football program.

This carries more weight than which city has the better nightlife.

The "L.A./Hollywood" lifestyle had nothing to do with the Reggie Bush case. Neither did SC's open practices with "celebrities". The Bush scandal happened because Reggie, Reggie's step-dad, and his long-time, convicted felon friend all wanted to make money off of Reggie. This all happened in San Diego, not L.A. Not Hollywood. And if you wanna lump SD into L.A., well then you have to lump New Orleans in with Baton Rouge. And I promise you, N.O. is a WAY bigger "party town" than L.A.

Luther Campbell, aka "Uncle Luke" and "Luke Skyywalker", is pitching a bitch in the press over Shapiro defaming his character over claims that he put bounties out on opposing players and so forth.

It's pretty goddamn funny when the front man of 2 Live Crew is claiming defamation.

I guess he's upset that people aren't talking about his lyrical genius, which came up with "frick the Sigma Chi, frick frick the Sigma Chi!" and other such difficult and timeless classics.

Yes, it is.

Found that somewhere else and figured it would be a wonderful avatar.

I am in Ft. Lauderdale for work and have been listening to sport radio. Just so everyone knows, the kids got taken advantage of by the booster. It is very sad.

Let's hear those quotes:

"My poor baby got taken by a booster, he is a good person, he goes to bible studies every Wednesday and goes to church every Sunday"

or:

"He is such a good person and his parents brung him up well. Must be that bad booster that corrupted my son. That b*tch tricked my son to produce that baby that was aborted. The booster put a gun to his head and made him have sex with the stripper."

or:

"It was the first time for him to do that in Miami, give my boy a break. No! don't count those other charges on his rap sheet from Tennessee, that would be prejudicial."

or:

"Call Reverend Al Sharpton, he can vouch for my church going son."

I think Campbell has found Jesus and trying to clean up his act.
